WPGlobus

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

39 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 7 listed. 32 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank vs rivals

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 54% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 26 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 9K.

11 of the last 18 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.

Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

   I came across along here because a client’s website with this plugin crashed completely because it is adding to each db-entry inside of the _postmeta, _options and _posts table brackets like {:de}…{:pl}…{:}. The deinstallation-routine of this plugin was not able to remove it, what it has stored into the database. The result after running the deinstallation-routine ended in completely removed styles and content-blocks, which were created with Elementor. All menue-eintries got broken too. The website was built as onepager and this plugin blowed up the wordpress-database with this those shitty brackets to more than 130 MB. All revision were affected too.After 5 times of try&errror without any solution and rolling back, I got today this plugin finally removed with WP-CLI and a lot of regex-sql-updates along sql-backups after each step. The database got shrinked to 4 MB after the cleaning from WPGlobal. I have never seen so much hazzle to remove a plugin. This is a very bad example how it can ends, when the developers doesn’t follow the wordpress codex. It’s a shame that the developers of this plugin are still selling licenses for it, which is not more maintained anymore.

   There are far more better free plugins then WPGlobus. One big minus is how it works by adding {} language tags, then they do not bother to fix massive fixes like critical error conflict with latest Elementor versions.

   There’s no way to show the language switcher in the new themes, and the current tutorial says to add as a widget. There’s no more widget support in wordpress. This plugin is very complicated to use.

   It works some of the time but when it doesn’t work it doesn’t. Ask for support and you’ll be sent two year old links that talk about compatibility issues. Apparently these problems have been around for a while but they are not being fixed.
